Pakistan Stung by Jaishankar's 'Bad Neighbor' Remark, Reiterates Old Rhetoric

• Pakistan reacted sharply to EAM Jaishankar's 'bad neighbor' and terrorism remarks, calling them 'irresponsible'.
• Pakistani Foreign Ministry reiterated its old stance on Kashmir, calling it India's 'illegal occupation' and supporting 'self-determination'.
• Pakistan also reaffirmed its position on the Indus Waters Treaty, warning against unilateral steps by India.
• Pakistan accused India of promoting terrorism and 'state-sponsored terrorism', citing Kulbhushan Jadhav.
• Jaishankar had stated that countries perpetrating terrorism cannot expect good neighborly relations or water sharing.

Why It Matters: Jaishankar's strong remarks on terrorism provoked Pakistan to reiterate its long-held grievances.
